| | Punk Legends: The American Roots CD (1 Customer Review)
U.K. release featuring 17 seminal tracks from the American Max's & CBGB's scene circa 1977. Includes many rare & exclusive versions of acclaimed tracks, including the Heartbreakers with Richard Hell's classic 'Blank Generation', an exclusive Suicide studio track, an unreleased Ramones pre-Sire single and more! Also features cuts from Pere Ubu, Iggy & the Stooges, Dead Boys, New York Dolls, MC5, Wayne County and more.
Punk Legends: American Roots is a frustrating collection of early punk and proto-punk bands like the Dictators, Pere Ubu, the Ramones, the Stooges, Dead Boys, Suicide and Richard Hell & the Heartbreakers. Some of these tracks are the original versions, but most are live or previously unreleased demos and outtakes, which would make it of historical value if it was assembled better. Instead, Punk Legends offers some of the most important bands of the time, occasionally presenting them at their peak but just as frequently finding them at their worst. For punk diehards, there are a handful of noteworthy tracks, but for casual fans, there's too much dreck to make Punk Legends worthwhile. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Twenty of Thor's Hammer's 1965-1967 recordings are on this compilation, which emphasizes their mid-'60s English-sung sessions in London. The other half is filled out by Icelandic songs and their 1967 Columbia single, as well as an outtake from the Columbia sessions, "By the Sea." Thor's Hammer was undoubtedly the best-known 1960s Icelandic band, which is not too useful a guide for curious consumers, as they're likely the only Icelandic '60s band whose product has been reissued for the international market. All joking aside, this would be respectable British Invasion-styled rock no matter where it came from, though it's ...

Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
VERY BEST OF POCO is a fine set with a generous track list (it was originally a two-record package) which includes the group's most well-known cuts. Though they existed in the shadow of the Eagles, and were plagued by constant personnel changes, Poco stood as one of the finest country rock bands of the 1970s, a claim supported by the excellent material on VERY BEST OF.
Since the set was released in 1975, it provides a substantial cross-section of the band's early work, particularly the line-up featuring Richie Furay and Jim Messina. Characterized by a driving sound, high, sweet group harmonies, and a fair bit of twang, Poco are the missing link between the Byrds' SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO and the Eagles' sleek, mainstream sound.

Originally a two-LP set, The Very Best of Poco was a decent compilation in its time, assembling the group's best-known songs from singles and album cuts in a straightforward order with no particular surprises. It was reissued with upgraded sound in 1999, and for the very casual fan with a budget to consider the latter is adequate, showing their evolution as a band from the first flourish of their birth -- as an offshoot of the Buffalo ...

Rod Carrillo - the electrifying producer that exploded on international dance floors this year - is at it again. He is a vibrant producer/remixer that has had a year full of hits for such artists as Donna Summer, Hardrox, Crystal Waters and Judy Torres. “Oye Party” is Rod Carrillo’s new Latin House Anthem along with new artist ‘Bodega Charlie.”Carrillo believes the song’s purpose is to bring back a lifting Latin feel party anthem. “’Oye Party” is just a party feel good record for all walks of life, from the new to the old school,” explained Rod Carrillo from his studio in Phoenix, AZ. “When Luis Torres (DBL) and I wrote the record, we wanted to bring a funny but grooving party house record. With our diverse world we thought a Spanglish record would be ideal and create a party feeling both for the mainstream and underground world during these weird economic times in our World.’”“Oye Party” includes mixes from Legendary Chicago DJ Tim “Spinnin” Schommer. “ Tim puts the old school Chicago sound with a new twist “ Carrillo said.
